Now or Neverglades Declaration

I support the 200-plus Everglades scientists who have determined that increased storage, treatment and conveyance of water south of Lake Okeechobee is essential to stop the damaging discharges to the coastal estuaries; to restore the flow of clean, fresh water to Everglades National Park, Florida Bay and the Florida Keys; to improve the health of Lake Okeechobee; and to protect the drinking water for 8 million Floridians living in Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.

As a property owner and registered voter it’s yourduty as an elected official to fix this poisonous threat and follow the law and send the water south. We don’t need a mini lake O we need the real fix!

I beg you to go to any length to support and fund the creation of an adequately sized and designed reservoir to relieve the environment degradation of the Everglades. It may be our only hope. And this action is the people’s will. I support this effort 100 percent.
